What Is Envira Gallery Fullscreen Addon?
Envira Gallery Fullscreen Addon is developed by Envira Gallery and is a specialized gallery extension for WordPress. Trusted by over 150,000 websites, it belongs to the gallery category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for photographers and designers.
The addon solves the limitation of standard lightboxes that are confined to the browser window dimensions. It is designed for creatives who need to display high-resolution work without the visual clutter of browser toolbars or operating system taskbars.
Envira Gallery Fullscreen Addon Features
The core feature set is built around providing a truly immersive viewing experience for website visitors.
Native Browser Support
Fullscreen Addon utilizes modern browser APIs to trigger true fullscreen mode. Instead of simply making a lightbox larger through CSS, it requests the browser to enter a dedicated display state. This ensures your galleries occupy 100% of the monitor real estate.
Gallery Toolbar Integration
The plugin adds a dedicated fullscreen icon directly into the gallery toolbar. Users can toggle this mode on or off with a single click. If a visitor uses an older browser that does not support native fullscreen, the addon automatically disables the icon to maintain a functional user interface.
Automatic Lightbox Sync
When the fullscreen mode is active, exiting the lightbox automatically closes the fullscreen view. This creates a logical workflow where users return to their regular browsing state as soon as they are finished viewing the high-resolution images. It eliminates common navigation traps found in simpler lightbox scripts.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Fullscreen Addon sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan. Retail access typically requires an active Pro or Agency level subscription from the vendor.
